SONY & AVC Zagreb presented the latest HDV camcorders

Sony and AVC unveiled Sony's latest HDV camcorders to the world, the HVR-Z7 and the HVR-S270E.
Both models offer interchangeable lenses, native progressive recording
and solid-state memory recording. With the release of these new models
HDV arrived as a true professional video acquisition technology.

The key features of these camcorders that define HDV's leap to pro
production are as follows: a removable lens on a 1080p camcorder, an
on-shoulder, full size tape camcorder, full HDV bandwidth to any
third-party compact flash media, four channels of audio recorded in
camera with the video and good low-light capability.

SONY/AVC also presented Sony's model PMW-EX1,
the first in a new range of professional HD products – called XDCAM EX
–, which records onto memory-based SxS ExpressCard media, and Sony's
Digital HD Video Camcorder HVR-HD1000E, made for users who are
looking for an entry-level professional shoulder mount design with full
1080i HDV recording as well as retaining DV capabilities.

The SONY/AVC
presentation attracted a number of interested buyers who visited the
biggest documentary film festival of its kind in South East Europe,
Zagrebdox. The fourth International ZAGREBDOX (February 25th – March
2nd) had the highest attendance rate ever, 25.000 visitors (filmmakers
and other professionals from the region).
